So uhhhhhhhh.

My one girlfriend Viv is still facing homelessness, she's contacted the nearby shelters and mutual aid groups in Raleigh and it turns out the shelters are all full and the income support isn't enough to afford any kind of housing. She's getting kicked out of her current place regardless of money, unfortunately.

Neither of us know what to do, it seems like all the options have been explored. We're both basically just scared shitless at the moment.

If you know of any, like, shelters or anything. Or any form of housing. Or anything we can do. Literally any smidgen or glimmer of hope here would be good.

And either way retoots would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Dank der aktuellen c't herausgefunden, dass man mit der Telekom und einer FRITZ!Box Telefonate verschlüsseln kann!

Ich frage mich ernsthaft, warum das per default nicht aktiviert ist? Denn es funktioniert fehlerfrei!

IT pro tip: Have you tried turning it off?

I don't think this gets mentioned a lot when people bring up misgendering as a harm against trans people, but part of what makes it especially rough is that it's hard to figure out it's happening.

Like, if there's five people at the table who use he/him pronouns and someone says "he", we don't know right away if they mean an actual "he" or if they're getting our pronouns wrong. And by the time we have enough context to know, the conversation has charged onwards and it's awkward to say anything.

Misgendering is not just factually and morally wrong - it's also really hard to respond to. And being braced for the possibility is exhausting.

Boosts appreciated because this is a fun question!

For anybody who chose their own name, where did you get it from, or why did you choose it?

I actually did get Isabelle from the Animal Crossing character on a whim (and my dead name was also after a famous character), but I liked the sweetness, and I had some friends encourage me to take it because Izzy is a fun punky name as well!

Happy #InternationalPronounsDay / #PronounsDay!

We posted our report on the pronouns question of the international 2020 Gender Census (>24,000 participants) recently: https://gendercensus.com/post/632150168128700416/gender-census-2020-the-pronoun-question

The most popular pronoun among binary-defying respondents was singular they at 78%.

* it's okay to list extra seed from a packet you bought that you have leftover, these don't have to be seeds you grew yourself
* it's polite to know that the seeds you're offering can germinate, don't screw over the receiver by sending them duds by accident
* when requesting seeds, you should make a good faith effort to actually grow them, don't request more than you can support, be respectful of the preciousness of this resource

* seeds don't have to be perfectly clean, but they should be ready for storage (don't send wet or bug-infested seeds, having some chaff is okay)
* notes about your growing conditions or tips or general willingness to have some back-and-forth between seed giver and receiver would be cool, but not required
* general goals: help more people get access to seeds, especially for growing food for themselves or their community. foster connections between growers. have less lawn.

alright, thinking of some specifics for the #fediseed project:

* basic info to include: your region (growing zone if you know it), seed species, seed variety, if you want to be paid for shipping
* basic unit of seed should be like, 'enough so that recipient can establish their own stock from the results'?
* do not use fediseed to knowingly break the laws of your jurisdiction (some seeds are not legal to distribute, or not legal to distribute to certain areas)

(discussion welcome)
